Steadily, the rhythm builds, reaching ecstatic peaks that transport both musicians and listeners closer to the divine. Saami Brothers are a group of accomplished vocalists and humble custodians of the traditions of Qawwali and Khayaal of Hazrat Ameer Khusrau and Ustad Taanrus Khan Sahab.

The Saami Brothers grew up in a family with rich musical heritage, referred to as Qawal Bachcha Delhi Gharana.
